Where is the Intake Air Temperature sensor located on a 12.0 1996 Nissan Pickup Truck 4cyln 2wd?

The intake air temperature (IAT) sensor is located in the intake manifold of your 1996 Nissan Pickup Truck. Here are the steps to find it:

1. Open the hood of your truck and locate the intake manifold. It is the large, black plastic housing on the top of the engine.

2. Follow the intake hose from the throttle body to the intake manifold.

3. The IAT sensor is located on the intake manifold, near the throttle body. It is a small, black sensor with a wire harness connected to it.

The intake air temperature sensor is used by the engine control unit (ECU) to determine the temperature of the air that is entering the engine. This information is used to adjust the fuel mixture and timing to ensure optimal engine performance.

If the intake air temperature sensor is not working properly, it can cause the engine to run rich or lean, which can lead to poor performance, fuel economy, and emissions. If you suspect that your intake air temperature sensor is not working properly, you should have it diagnosed and repaired by a qualified mechanic.
